    • Quotes

      Cornelia Keneres: What did I do wrong?

      Barbu: Never mind now. I'm putting this on the table. You can say yes or no. You either let me call you when I feel like it, or it's nothing. And a suggestion. If it's hard, find a substitute. A dog, a lover, a hobby. People your age visit the Pyramids.

      Cornelia Keneres: Other people my age have a normal relationship with their child. Parents find their fulfillment in their children. Everything they failed to accomplish, they achieve through their children.

      Barbu: So we're agreed.

    Mother, would you unlock me?
    Do you know these films where everything - acting, shooting, story telling, directing - works together to emerge into a clear message? This is such a film.

    Reading bad reviews upfront, was afraid about getting bored from being too long, or dizzy from excessive use of hand held camera. Happy to report none of them apply. Instead, last frame was finding me quite surprised about how fast it was finished.

    This film reminds me very much of "A separation" of Farhadi. They touched me in the same way, although the stories were different. That is because both stories are just recipients for emotions.

    And in the end, this movie is full of emotions, human, universal, atemporal emotions. And that is what makes this film great.
